"Sure."
Bai E’s request to participate in the research wasn’t surprising. The warrior was equally interested in these technology-related studies—interest is also a type of talent, and undoubtedly, this warrior’s talent was displayed in every aspect.
That was the reason he had initially caught her attention, unfortunately...
Temporarily gathering her thoughts, Helen focused on the matter at hand.
As Bai E’s translucent jade-like fingertips lightly pressed on the silvery smooth surface of the panel, curtains on the vast wall in front of him unfurled to the sides, revealing the biological experiment chamber separated by transparent glass behind it.
The Thunder Beast that Bai E had killed with a bomb had many of its internal organs destroyed, but its sufficiently large body still allowed the military to extract plenty of fresh remaining tissues for research, more than enough, and now they were laid out before their eyes.
Helen controlled the mechanical arms behind the isolation window, examining the tissues provided by the military and sending them one by one to the inspection portal.
In the large room, only the faint buzzing sound of machinery could be heard for a moment...
The strength of muscles and bone armor far exceeded all species previously captured, and both forms of attack were very formidable. Among them, the acid spray and the artillery used in the bombardment, including one type, the Swelling Tick Bomb, could be patterned, but that seed-like bomb...
After examining for a while, a sac-like organ showing some abnormalities under the scanner came into Helen’s view.
The sharp scalpel gently sliced through the layer of robust muscle that seemed to still be pulsating, revealing a multi-chambered sac-like organ completely to the eyes of Bai E and Helen.
And within each of those chambers lay the black "shells," the very "seeds" from the bombardment, quietly arrayed inside.
...
"Di~ Di~ Di~" The machine eventually emitted a beep, indicating the analysis was complete. Bai E was the first to hurry over, "How is it, how is it?"
"You’re quite anxious..." Helen glancing at him, then turned her head to look at the display panel of the instrument.
The various precise indices meant nothing to Bai E who was in the dark, with only the paper data that eventually gathered at Helen’s fingertips being the only items he could understand.
"Muscle strength... Bone strength and density... The structural composition of the seed..."
Murmuring softly, Helen put down the paper summary she held in her hands and leaned back half-sitting in the chair, somewhat vexed as she massaged her temple with her fair jade-like right hand.
"Can’t figure it out..."
The meticulous composition and structure of each bone and muscle could be estimated roughly, but how they would perform when combined was difficult to judge.

The potential ranges given by the computer’s analysis were so vast that it was almost as if no analysis had been done at all.
Just as with the secrets of the human body, they could never fully understand them, let alone comprehend the bodies of the Bug Race, an alien species.
In the past, they could finalize the ability value ranges of their opponents based on extensive combat experience, but this time the data provided was too scarce, and they could only offer a rough estimate to the Military Department based on a few images and partial verbal descriptions.
As for the power of the artillery strike, it was even more difficult to give a precise guess, and it was impossible to begin researching materials for protective measures.
Shaking her head, Helen tapped the keyboard.
Catching a glimpse of Bai E in the corner of her eye, she casually asked in a soft voice, "How did it feel when you faced off against the Thunder Beast?"
From the video, there wasn’t much head-on confrontation between the two; most of it was Bai E and his companion’s Mecha deftly avoiding the cumbersome beast while looking for weaknesses. Engaged in the fierce battle, his brain was nearly empty from the surging hormones, and most warriors couldn’t give a detailed description of the combats they’d participated in, probably including Bai E.
Asking him might not yield much, so Helen just asked casually.
But to her surprise, Bai E responded immediately, "Yes!"
There was so much.
He wished he could spew all the information from the Beast Compendium at once, but for the sake of rationality, Bai E could only provide it through various scenarios, "I had a direct collision with its limb once, using about 80% of the Mecha’s peak strength, but still slightly at a disadvantage, so I estimate the impact strength of a typical limb to be around 95%-97% of a Mecha arm at full operation. Additionally, regarding the damage from the Thunder Beast’s bombardment..."
The sound of typing stopped unknowingly, and as Bai E blurted out his thoughts, he saw Helen staring at him in astonishment.
He had noticed her attention, but now he just feigned surprise and countered, "…Is there a problem, Academician?"
Helen asked incredulously, "You… noticed all that information?"
["Lucky Strike" energy charges +1.]
Bai E couldn’t explain but just asked sternly, "…Isn’t observing battlefield information something we must do?"
The facts were right there, and it was up to others to logically fill in the blanks with their own assumptions.
Very fitting.
"..." Clamping her lips, Helen discovered yet another advantage in this guy that she had overlooked before—
An astonishing sensitivity to data, even thoughtfully converting it into a domain she was familiar with. Read new chapters at freewebnovel
"Tap tap tap tap tap~" Rapid keystrokes followed as Helen quickly recorded the chunk of data Bai E had just mentioned.
